I was looking at a target entry price of 700...... |
Certainly was a bargain last Spring, recovered well will look for a pull back to enter the arena |
Safe to say this is a very well run company who's two major markets are incredibly challenging atm.
Hold a small amount but not particularly minded to add atm.
Any other or different views appreciated?. |
Ahh the new new...20pc drop in turnover and 45pc drop in profits for the first 6 months....coupled with 'we haven't got a clue' style outlook, going forward....which will hopefully improve...but who knows. |
Bodycote has made itself more resilient and now looks worth a punt |
Surprised at the rapid bounce. |
How does anybody view bodycote their revenues going forward? Surely revenues must be falling off a cliff especially what will be expected to happen in the aerospace and automotive industry now. |
Results came out today - what a day to release them! Main clients auto & aero - not a great combo. |
Well done those who bought low down... looks to be a good acquisition announced today. |

Missed the boat here, but I didn't go into SNR either. So swings and roundabouts ;-) |
Where is this going to, some ride today? |
Thanks dmk.
From earlier this week..
'Bodycote opens new heat treatment facility in Prague' |
Interesting reference to BOY |
EI, toss up between BOY and SNR for me . Maybe 50% in each ? ;-) |
Hi Phil, there is a degree of the share price making up lost ground on the broker price cut earlier this week. That being said a 10% move in either direction is pretty routine for Bodycote. Really like this longer term as they may be in a sweet spot, highly cyclical though. |
Afternoon EI. Impressive performace today on a poor market day. |
If we were to head back in to recession and some of the huge Airbus/Boeing backlogs begin thinning out, that may hit hard.
The industry has around 4 years of backlog work atm, from what I've read. However much of that can still be cancelled pre production (is my understanding). |
I would not be too concerned about the MAX re Bodycote - unless it failed recertification.
What's weighing on the BOY price atm is car/light truck exposure, coupled with their general industrial business- at least that's my take
Aerospace is less than 30% of their total business, so the MAX program within that segment might be a few % ? - at a guesstimate. |
Just sold another few @ 6.9248. |
Boeing 737 Max Lion Air crash caused by series of failures |
Evening EI , you're almost turning into a day-trader ;-)
Well done :-) |
Hi Phil, hoping this may come back a bit. Sold my MNG at the open btw, was slightly fortunate on timing. |
